Posted June 16th, 2010"The secret of business, especially these days, is to focus relentlessly on your unfair advantage - the thing you do that others don't." -- John Rollwagen, executive
This "unfair advantage" is another term for "competitive advantage."
A competitive advantage is something that you and your business excels in. It is not easily copied by competitors and the profit margin is very high.
Examples of a competitive advantage are Microsoft's operating systems, Apple's iPhone, & Google's search engine. Other companies compete, but are light years behind in function and marketing.
Ways to Determine You Unfair Advantage:
1. Ask yourself... [*]
What are my highest value activities?
What can my company do and only my company do if done well will make a real difference?
What is the most valuable use of my company's time?
2. Apply the 80/20 rule:
What are the 20% of activities that provide my company 80% of its results?
Once you locate your competitive advantage, you need to consistently exploit it! Talk about it, have your staff promote it, put it on all your marketing materials, and advertise.

Posted May 26th, 2010
Think back to a moment when you exceeded your expectations. Was it a game winning hit, an A on a test, an unexpected relationship, a raise or job promotion, or any accomplishment in life you value? How did it feel?
I'm sure it felt great! This is what we call that "winning feeling."
A winning feeling is not reserved to celebrities, athletes, and billionaires. Anyone can experience it and most people have. But, wouldn't it be nice to feel that more often?
Your body cannot tell the difference between what is real and what is imagined. The mind is what dictates reality. These are very important insights.
Biofeedback studies with athletes show us that they cannot differentiate a real game from an imagined one. When they visualize a movement, the same nerves fire as if it were real.
We all have experienced things that felt so real, but were in reality false. Some people fear failing a test, but end up getting A's. Others think no one likes them, but everyone does. This is a horrible existence.
Regardless of outcome, the key is the "feeling." Why do we strive for things? Answer: to feel good!
The amazing thing is that if you evoke the feeling of success or that "winning feeling," not only will you feel good, but you will start to attract people and circumstances to match that feeling. This is not mysticism, it is basic social interaction--people like to be around other people with good energy.
So, how do we get more of that winning feeling? Here is how.
The Six Steps to Creating That Winning Feeling are:

The Starfish Luncheon is in its fourth year and with over 400 corporate leaders and business professionals attending, this is an essential public forum to honor and show appreciation for venerable people who are dedicated to changing the lives of domestic violence victims in Broward County.

Posted May 18th, 2010
The Fortress of Solitude is where Superman learned about all the knowledge of Krypton (his highly advanced home planet that was destroyed when its sun exploded). In addition to Superman's quickening as a young adult, Superman would visit the Fortress of Solitude from time to time to find answers to difficult questions, to relax, and to learn.
After Superman was recharged from visiting his Fortress of Solitude, he was more cunning and powerful in overcoming villians.
Here's how you can Create your Fortress of Solitude:
1. Pick a Place: It could be a place in your home, your car, a specified location, or a space you create in your mind.
2. Build & Fortify It: The more time you spend in your fortress, the more powerful and sacred it becomes. Your thoughts and time spent give life to it. Each time you enter, you reinforce its walls and energy.
3. Immerse Yourself: Create uninterrupted time throughout the day in 15 minute intervals to go into your fortress. Meditation is one form--where you sit quietly and allow your thoughts to come and go. This will help to create stillness and balance. Alternatively, you could use your fortress as a learning center. Listen to audio programs that inspire you and reprogram you. This can even be done while walking or in you car.
Like Superman, you too will become empowered after visiting your Fortress of Solitude. The stillness and learning received, will enable you to take on the world with greater peace and effectiveness.
